Manchester United's hopes of signing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon have been dealt a blow as the striker reportedly hesitates to join the club due to concerns about manager Ruben Amorim's current situation. Bayern Munich has also emerged as a contender for Gyokeres' signature.
Manchester United have reportedly faced a setback in their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. Rumors linking Gyokeres to United intensified following the appointment of Ruben Amorim as the club's manager, given their previous working relationship. Gyokeres has been prolific this season, scoring 30 goals in 28 appearances for Sporting, adding to his impressive tally of 43 goals last season.
Despite widespread speculation about a departure since last summer, he opted to stay with Sporting until Amorim's move to Old Trafford. However, according to the Daily Star, Gyokeres is hesitant about joining United due to the challenges Amorim currently faces. Adding to United's difficulties, Bayern Munich has reportedly entered the race to sign Gyokeres, willing to pay his £80 million release clause. It is unclear if Bayern intends to make the move this month or wait until the summer. United's pursuit of Gyokeres has been complicated by the striker's preference for a club competing in the Champions League next season
